  Hi
  
  After a tough training session i have a bottle of ForGoodnessShakes! They can be expensive but can be bought in bulk off their website and after you've bought so many you get a discount.
  
  I also have a protein shake with milk before bed in order to help with muscle recovery.
  
  I find this works for me.
  
  Hope this has been some use to you.

  has what you need and most importantly, all goes through the normal food shopping budget, not the severely restricted and tightly contolled tri budget

  Plain old milk works just fine for me, shortly after finishing a workout.
  
  +1 for homemade smoothies, taste much better than FGS.
  
  An electrolyte drink whilst working out and also after workout will also help, I like Nuun but there are others available!

  A recipe I give to clients in heavy training:
  
  1 cup semi-skimmed milk
  add 2 tbsp skimmed milk powder
  half a banana plus vanilla essence
  or half a tin apricots
  or 2 tsp Milo (mixed with hot water)
  
  Blend
  
  The use of shop bought products is not recommended as there may be ingrediants not listed on the tin that may provide a positive drugs test (caution for elite athletes!), plus they are very expensive. The claims that they make are also designed to be emotive. Experiment with different isotonic drinks to find one you can tolerate and enjoy the taste of and have a good variety of flavours so that you dont get bored. Ensure you get post-training meals into you as soon as you can after training. Eg's include milk shake recipe above, fresh druit salad, low fat fruit yoghurt, pasta salad, potato salad, beans on toast etc.
  
  Eat Smart.
